After a wild win on Thursday, the Habs headed into Saturday night looking to wrap up the week on a high note as they hosted Ottawa. They saved their best for last, using a four-goal surge in the third period to beat the Sens 5-2 for the third time in less than two weeks.

Following a strong showing on the road in Ottawa, the Habs went to Chicago on Sunday looking to make it two straight road victories. It was far from a pretty effort but the penalty kill stepped up to help Montreal get a 3-2 win.

With Noah Juulsen nearing a return to the lineup, the Habs needed to free up a roster spot and Xavier Ouellet was the casualty. He cleared waivers on Saturday, paving the way for the Habs to send him to Laval.
